refused to release the skull. then he did. >> he led officers to where he found the skull and they found the rest of the woman's remains. today is the final ash wednesday for pope benedict. he resigns at the end of the month. the first pope to do so in about 6 centuries. kpix 5 reporter cate caugiran is at st. mary's cathedral in san francisco with more on today's service. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the ash wednesday service actually just started here at st. mary's cathedral. it's the beginning of the solemn lenten season for catholics as they look to the vatican for answers. earlier today, the pope made his first appearance since he announced that he was stepping down. >> today ash wednesday, we read in our yearly -- we begin our yearly lenten journey in preparation for easter. the 40 days of lent jesus is drawn to the desert and the temptations of jesus at the beginning of his public ministry. >> reporter: benedict was met with a huge crowd and a minute-
6:46 am
long-standing ovation. the faithful were gathered in a vatican city audience hall for his regular weekly audience. the pope saying to the group in several languages, he said he is resigning for the good of the church. now, benedict made the announcement on monday. he says he is not strong enough to continue as his -- or in his role as pope. the vatican is tasked with the job of finding a successor of saint peter. leaders made it clear benedict will have no role in choosing the replacement. this is uncharted territory for the vatican. the pope is the first pope to step down from his position in the past 600 years so there are a lot of unanswered questions like, what we will call him, what he will wear after he makes his final appearance. live in san francisco, cate caugiran, kpix 5. apparently americans didn't open up their wallets very much after the holidays. there was just a slight increase in row tail sales last month. here to chat about it -- there was just a slight increase in

retail sales last month. here to chat about it, kcbs radio's financial reporter jason brooks. >> reporter: only a tenth of a percent in sales in january. no doubt the increase in the payroll tax and higher taxes on those making more than $250,000 certainly weighing on consumers. although there were some categories that did well. home improvement stores up quite a bit showing the continued improvement in the housing market. auto sales were down a bit. that weighed on the overall number. there is a lot more talk and speculation about an iwatch from apple following reports of the "new york times" and the "wall street journal" that apple will make wristwear. bloomberg says apple has as many as 100 product designers working on iwatch. tim cook addressed a goldman sachs analyst conference yesterday but no hints on the iwatch coming down the pipeline. market working on some multiplety year highs. the dow only 146 shy of the all- time record as it started out

6:56 am
and one of the search teams raced past us and we followed them. only when we rolled up on the scene and they jumped out and started firing that we really knew what we had rolled up on. >> i hear some screaming -- [ gunfire ] >> reporter: authorities told us it stay low for our safety. moments ago we were caught in the middle of this gunfire between christopher dorner and authorities. we are told that two deputies have been hit by gunfire. their condition is unknown. you can see police and the s.w.a.t. team just a little bit down the road. they have dorner cornered in a cabin. >> the initial video was your cell phone, is that right? and were you worried about your safety? >> reporter: yeah, we were shooting with a cell phone and camera. there was a mix of the two video. but we were worried about our
6:57 am
safety, certainly. we were trying to find a position that was going to be safe from any high caliber bullets. it was reported that he had a .50-caliber weapon with him. and a car door is going to do nothing against a bullet of that caliber so we were trying to get down behind the wheels and engine block and sheriff's deputies instructed us to move back providing cover for us as we fell back a little bit. now, i can give you an up date. this morning, authorities are reporting that inside the burnt- out cabin, they have found a driver's license with the name, christopher dorner on it. of course, they are not going to have positive identification until the coroner consults all his tests. but that's about as good as you can get right now without the positive id from the coroner. >> you were out there yesterday, now you're out there this morning. what is the mood like quickly? we imagine there is a sigh of relief for law enforcement but it's also somber because they lost some of their own. >> reporter: yeah. it was a tragic situation.
6:58 am
the mood was tense. but it did begin to calm as the cabin burned and you got the sensor of relief. you could feel it from the officers out there. they they felt like they could stand down and were safer. >> carter evans, thank you, great work yesterday and this morning. thanks for joining us live from big bear. >> we are going to continue to follow this story and you can keep updated on our website, cbssf.com. have a great morning. captions by: caption colorado comments@captioncolorado.com captioning funded by cbs good morning to our viewers in the west. it is wednesday, february 13th, 2013. welcome to "cbs this morning." fire fight in the mountains, only on "cbs this morning," video from inside the deadly shoot-out with fugitive christopher dorner. we'll talk to a reporter carter evans, trapped in the gunfire. marco rubio, paul ryan and
